Roseland Taxi Dancer

Danny O’Keefe

[Intro]
Come on now Granny dear
You’re much too old to cry
You’ve got your memories
But, deary, so do I

[Verse 1]
She was the sweetest rose
Of all that strange bouquet
The music played forever
As we danced the night away

[Chorus]
Come on and take a chance, sir
On a Roseland taxi dancer
Hey, hey, dance your night away
Here’s your ticket to romance her
C’mon, sailor, what’s the answer
The band’ll play
'Till the break of day

[Post-Chorus]
And though she’ll never love you
You can pass away the while
Trade your ticket for a smile

[Verse 2]
I got a ticket for one more
C’mon you’ve nothin’ left to lose
It’s once more round the floor
Sweety, listen to those Sugar Blues

[Chorus]
Come on and take a chance, sir
On a Roseland taxi dancer
Hey, hey, dance your night away
Here’s your ticket to romance her
C’mon, sailor, what’s the answer
The band’ll play
'Till the break of day

[Post-Chorus]
And though she’ll never love you
You can pass away the while
Trade your ticket for a smile

[Outro]
Come on now granny dear
You’re much too old to cry
You’ve got your yesterdays
But, deary, so do I
Oh, deary, so do I
